Quakers at the Edinburgh Fringe
During the Fringe, the Quaker Meeting House becomes Venue 40. Our venue is in the heart of the historic city centre, and our events run throughout the Fringe. The Quaker Festival Committee and Venue 40 staff endeavour to provide a friendly and welcoming venue for our visiting companies, audiences and tearoom customers. Our values of equality, peace, integrity and simplicity influence our theatre programme selection and the way we run the venue.
Local Quakers welcome all who join them in their silence-based Meetings for Worship which take place in our top floor meeting room. These are held daily:
Monday to Saturday, at 8 am. and at 1.00 pm. for about 30 minutes and on
Sundays at 9:30 am for about ¾ hour and at 11 am for about 1 hour.
